Sword Among Us Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027 - Mysterious Stone Plate

“What is this…?”

“Why isn’t it a martial arts manual? What is it made with, it’s so hard…”

“It looks a little like a stone block!”

“It is a woodblock print?”

The two men and woman chose to untie the knot and see just what was inside the bag.

In the end, what caused them great disappointment was that there was no martial arts manual inside. Instead, they were four exquisite and smooth stone blocks whose names they did not know and could fall off the Universe Bag at any moment even if they placed them inside. There were also some pictures they could not understand on the stone blocks.

Four stone plates!

Four pictures!

And carved on it were these words: You need time to understand it.

“No way, we can’t use it immediately?”

“We can’t use it either. It’s written that we need to find a quiet place and carefully study it to be able to understand the true profound nature behind the pictures on the stone plates. Even if we have it in our hands right now, it’s useless.”

“We’re done for…”

The trio’s expressions were incredibly dark, and they felt their last shred of hope vanishing as well.

When they looked into the distance, they saw more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues at the beginning stage of Myth Realm locking down a circular area of hundreds of feet by standing close to each other, and they were like a bronze wall. The two men and woman who stood at the center looked disheartened. They instantly felt as if their lives were bleak, and the effort they paid off over the past month had completely gone up in smoke.

“We can’t go out. Even if we send a messenger pigeon to Luo Zhiheng, he can’t help us get out of this stupid place.”

The female trap master remained silent for a while before she accepted reality with dejection on her face. She sighed, “I think that our quest isn’t actually to steal these four stone plates from among so many Arhat Buddha statues in Dafo Temple…”

“If it’s not to steal them, then what are we here for?”

“To destroy them.”

“What?”

“Think about it. When Shi Feixuan gave us the quest, she told us that we were to bring it as quickly as possible once we found the item and stay far away from Shi Feixuan while we bring it to Kind Boathouse. If we could not leave with it, we were to think of everything we can to destroy them, and we were not to let Shi Zhixuan get them.” The female trap master smiled in anguish. “I think that since this place is full of traps, with our strength, it’s impossible for us to get out. It’s possible that right from the start, our task was to be in charge of destroying these four stone plates, not to take them away.”

“Destroy them?”

“But we came here after so much effort…”

The two men sucked in sharp breaths, and they held their stone plates tightly. Then, they were excited. “Do you know what you’re saying? You know that the stone plates are left behind by a divine monk who is One with the World, right? And you’re thinking about destroying them?”

No matter what, they were not people who were at Happy’s level. They could not remain calm and rational while they faced the peerless treasure, Langhuan Blessed Ground. Besides, the item in their hands might actually be worth even more than Langhuan Blessed Ground.

“Did you actually think that I would be willing to?” The female trap master smiled in anguish. “Think about it carefully! Even if this item is God of War Picture Chronicles, we can’t bring them out with our abilities.”

The two men said nothing.

“If we continue staying here, the possibility of Evil King snatching them will be even greater. At that time, not only will we fail the quest because we lost the stone plates, we will also die! We spent so much effort before we pushed our relationship status with Shi Feixuan to Friendly. If we fail in this quest, Shi Feixuan will be utterly disappointed in us!”

The two men looked at each other and put on complicated expressions, looking as if they had a hard time making a decision.

They could understand what their companion told them, but the treasure in their hands right now could change their current situation and even elevate them to being top-class elites who could catch the attention of the world. They would much rather that they had never run into these items instead of being forced to give up on them right now.

“Do it.”

The female trap master naturally knew about the furious fight her companions had in their hearts, but she was currently the only one among the three who still had a rather clear and rational mind.

She knew very well that with Shi Feixuan’s strength, it was impossible for her to hold back Evil King and Empress Yin!

It was impossible that Evil King had not discovered what was going on here when the Buddha statues had made such large movements!

“If we don’t take action, once Evil King comes here, not only will we die, but we will also fail in our quest, and the items will also fall into Evil King’s hands.”

The female trap master gritted her teeth while she spoke, and she resolutely threw two of the stone plates in her hands into the sky.

Under her two companions’ pained gazes, the female trap master delivered a strike with all her power, and a palm-generated wind charged forward fiercely and mightily. It charged forward fiercely, and it looked as if it wanted to crush the stone plates into powder.

However, it seemed like these stone plates which were made using unknown material were not that easily destroyed. A loud bang rose, but the stone plates remained undamaged, and the palm-generated wind was sent violently crashing against the Arhat Buddha statues.

“Oh no!”

When they saw this, the trio’s expressions changed drastically.

Almost instinctively, the trio moved at the same time to get the stone plates back.

But right when they were about to attack, the thousand Arhat Buddha statues released an astonishing presence, and a violent, invisible qi wave suddenly charged toward them from the front.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The trio felt as if their lower halves had been swept through by a force amounting to thousands of Newtons. They fell backward very pathetically.

Those two stone plates were not attacked by the qi waves. They fell among the Buddha statues without anything slowing down their fall. They fell on an empty spot among a few Arhat Buddha statues. There was even a distance of thirty something feet between them.

“This is bad… This is really bad.”

The three people got up from the floor. They saw the stone plates that fell among the Arhat Formation, and all of them put on anguished smiles.

The female trap master was full of regrets, and they did not think that these seemingly frail stone plates would be so sturdy. They were completely fine even after they suffered a full-powered blow from her.

“I can’t take those stone plates back!”

“What should we do?” The trio instantly felt as if they were like ants on a frying pan.

They had originally been hesitating between rushing out and destroying the stone plates to complete their quest, but now… they had to face the nightmare of failing their quests.

Their hearts instantly sank.

“Don’t panic! We can’t lose our cool!” One of them sucked in a deep breath and calmed down before he said, “We still have a chance. Let’s see if we can destroy those stone plates with hidden weapons!”

“That’s right!”

“We have to hurry up! Quick!”

The three of them brought out their bows, arrows, hidden weapons, and throwing knives, and they aimed them at the stone plates among the Arhat Buddha statues.

Whoosh!

One of them moved the fastest. He fired three arrows at the same time and had all of them travel in a row to shoot at the stone plates. He was actually using a Moksha Realm Bow Technique, and the power was incredibly domineering.

Just when the trio looked forward to the sound of the stone plates shattering when the sound of the arrows hitting them rose, a violent gust of wind blew, and the three arrows suddenly vanished without a trace from the air.

They were stunned silent.

Not a single sign of that wind coming had appeared, but the three arrows had instantly disappeared when they got close to a stone plate.

They were dumbfounded for half a second.

The first thing they thought of was whether this was the doing of the Arhat Buddha statues nearby, and that these Arhat Buddha statues were stopping them from destroying the stone plates.

But in the next second, a figure that caused the trio’s faces to turn stark pale appeared near the stone plate. He was a middle-aged man, and his movements were elegant. He only lowered his head to cast a glance at the stone plates for a moment, and a strange, evil smile bloomed on his lips.

“I’ve been searching for them everywhere, and in the end, I got them without any effort at all.”

The trio’s faces turned even paler.

‘Evil King!’

Shi Zhixuan had actually returned at this moment.

When they saw that Shi Zhixuan had obtained those stone plates so easily, anguish and despair instantly appeared on their pale faces.

The trio received the notification that they failed their quest at the same time.

Just when they thought that the situation was about to turn bad, the Arhat Formation suddenly moved.

The Arhat Buddha statue closest to Shi Zhixuan suddenly opened its eyes, as if it could suddenly focus its gaze. It swung its sturdy arm fiercely with a mighty force.

This happened very suddenly.

When it attacked, it was as if thunder had crackled, and there was no sound of wind at all!

At the same time, the other Arhat Buddha statues in the area attacked from everywhere at the same time. The force in their palms could cut through air, and their movements brought about the dull sounds of air being torn. In an instant, their palms arrived in front of Shi Zhixuan, and he was instantly caught in a situation guaranteeing certain death.

“This is great!”

When they saw that Shi Zhixuan had caused the Arhat Formation to attack him after he obtained the stone plates, the trio had their eyes light up, because they felt as if they just saw light in a desperate situation.

At the same time, the system told these three people that if they seized the stone plates from Evil King, they could still turn the situation around!

“Attack!”

The three players were ecstatic!

*****

Shi Zhixuan’s attention was originally on the other stone plate around thirty feet away. He did not expect that the Arhat Buddha statues would suddenly attack, even though they had been causing no trouble just now. During that instant, he was also shocked.

However, Evil King lived up to his name. When he faced the offense from so many Arhat Buddha statues at Myth Realm, he did not panic. An astonishing and great qi instantly exploded from his body.

Boom!

A powerful qi force charged out violently.

The attack from dozens of Arhat Buddha statues instantly looked as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of air, and their momentum came to a screeching halt.

“Begone!”

His shout was like thunder in spring. Palm-generated wind that filled the entire area charged out of Shi Zhixuan’s body, and the Arhat Buddha statues nearby looked as if they had been cut by sharp weapons. Their hands and feet began to crumble, and they quickly turned into broken Arhat Buddha statues. The qi on their bodies also vanished without a trace.

The female trap master and her companions’ arrows and hidden weapons could not even get closer to Evil King, since they were fired from the center of the formation. All their weapons were sent flying back by the violent qi force.

When they saw Shi Zhixuan destroying so many Arhat Buddha statues as easily as breathing, the three players had their faces turn pale with helplessness and dejectedness again.

“Hahahaha!”

Shi Zhixuan arrived near the second stone plate and easily dissolved the Arhat Buddha statues’ offense. With a flip of his palm, he destroyed the Arhat Buddha statues he ran into on his way, and he grabbed the second stone plate. The evil sneer on his face gradually grew wider, and his wild as well as ruthless presence started showing signs of spilling out of his body because he could no longer control it.

“This is the second piece. Since you helped me search for the four stone plates, hand over the other two stone plates, and I can show you mercy!” Shi Zhixuan whipped his head around and had his eyes land on the female trap master’s two other companions.

They were shocked. When they faced Evil King’s evil and monstrous presence, they could not help but take two steps back and subconsciously grab the stone plates in their hands.

Bang!

Another two Arhat Buddha statues were destroyed in Shi Zhixuan’s hands. The man slowly walked to the center of the formation and gradually drew closer to the trio while he faced the attacks launched by the group of Arhat Buddha statues.

The awe-inspiring might of a superior person as well as a wild, monstrous, and untameable presence surging madly intersected with each other, making Shi Zhixuan look like a demon who could not be matched. It caused the female trap master and her companions to have their expressions turn even graver. Their breathing also became rapid, and they felt as if they were about to suffocate under this pressure.
